The strategic plan process starts with the mission statement of the organization:
The mission of the Carol Stream Park District is to enrich our community by fulfilling our residents’ needs for healthy, accessible, quality recreation activities, parks and facilities, and to be responsible stewards of our community resources.
Using the mission statement to define strategy or direction and recognizing what residents shared in the needs assessment, the Carol Stream Park District has developed a strategic plan to guide us through years 2018 to 2022. The plan identifies key priorities, focuses energy and resources, and ensures employees are working toward the intended outcomes. Implementation covers a five-year period and establishes the organization’s goals and actions needed to achieve those goals. The plan is designed to adjust in a changing environment.
